Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350F (180C) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until creamy. Add egg, egg yolks, and vanilla; mix until combined.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients until just combined.
In a small bowl, combine sugar and nutmeg for coating.
Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie, roll into balls, and coat in the sugar-nutmeg mixture.
Place cookie balls on lined sheets about two inches apart and bake for 9-12 minutes until set but still soft.
Allow cookies to cool on sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
